Bio

I am a visual artist with a background in architecture. My practice explores the relationship between color, material, and space, focusing on a direct, visual, and tactile experience. I consider color as an autonomous language — both structural and emotional — expressed across mixed media supports such as fabric, paper, plaster, thread, and pigments. My work stems from the observation of natural and urban environments, which I translate into abstract compositions where analysis and perceptual sensitivity coexist.

In 2014 I moved to Montréal. I began as an illustrator, then turned to printmaking and screen printing, which opened the way to a broader practice capable of intertwining visual arts, craft, and design. Over the years I have absorbed influences from different cultural contexts — Italy, Africa, Asia, and North America — that have shaped my sensitivity to landscape textures, urban rhythms, and the quality of light in different places. These atmospheres resurface in my works through patterns, forms, and chromatic contrasts, with the colorist gesture at the core.

In Montréal the chromatic dimension became central to my practice. Being identified as a “colorist” pushed me to approach color not only as intuition, but as an autonomous field of research and experimentation. This turning point was intertwined with my training in architecture and my PhD in urban planning in Canada, which taught me to face complexity methodically and translate it into concrete solutions. Thus, in my work, chromatic analysis guides the choice of materials and the dialogue with artisans, while intuition preserves the singularity of each creation.

I work with traditional techniques (watercolor, ink, oil, acrylic) and artisanal methods (textile, screen printing), sometimes combined with digital tools. My practice also incorporates natural pigments derived from spices — turmeric, coffee, saffron — which add an additional sensory layer to the use of color. In recent years I have focused on Color Vision Deficiency (CVD), creating works that remain legible even in altered visual conditions. Today my research and creation focus on color analysis, on defining the most expressive chromatic combinations, and on their concrete translation through textile craft.
